Hello Sunshine Division Volunteers! Sunshine Division is excited to announce our 10th Annual SHINE Gala & Auction May 19th at the Sentinel Hotel. This year, SHINE will feature a live & silent auction, a raffle, a wine wall, plus more fun opportunities for our guests, all necessary to help us reach our goal of raising $350,000. This goal will fund the many wonderful programs that make Sunshine Division a necessity in our community, which would not exist without events like SHINE and our beloved community of dedicated volunteers! Calling all volunteers! In order to reach our fundraising goals, Sunshine Division needs to recruit at least 60 volunteers to help our guests navigate this brilliant gala! We are looking for individuals to volunteer for registration, selling raffle tickets, and assisting with the auction. Introducing for the first time ever SHINE After Dark, an after party following the Gala & Auction. SHINE After Dark will feature a LIVE DJ, drinks & lite bites. All volunteers are invited to join SHINE After Dark providing there is no conflict with their volunteer duties. In addition to attending SHINE After Dark, volunteers will be given breaks and provided food. If you would like more information about these roles or anything else, please contact our Events & Development Coordinator, Daisha Wilby, at daisha@sunshinedivision.org. A big thank you to all our volunteers! We look forward to celebrating 100 years of Sunshine Division serving our most vulnerable neighbors by providing food, clothing, and HOPE! With Gratitude, The Sunshine Division Community
